LowMax...Is It Challenging?

I previewed my Lowmax today and 'just watching' it...I had expected it to be more difficult than it looks. Is this a sleeper workout that catches up with you? I guess I was expecting something low impact but IMAXish. You know, where the blasts leave you whimpering like a baby.

Also I'm wondering, the section where there is alot of moving squat work...is anyone subbing in lunges in that section?
 
Believe me, it doesn't "look" challenging but your butt and thighs will be sore the next day. It is a really good workout, tough and fun. You can't beat that!

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!
 
Oh yeah!!!! It kind of creeps up on you while you are thinking "this isn't so bad" and before you know it you are gasping for air and begging for it all to end!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

That is LowMax in all of its' beauty....ENJOY!
 
I agree with everybody else (and "hi, Tammy!")....I just LOVE this workout and believe it is VERY challenging...you'll even get a good workout using one of the premixes. :)
 
oh sure it starts ok pretty good, not to hard but getting a great workout then she throws in those blasts and it all goes from there LOL. its the blast i swear doing the workout as is its a killer to keep going into another combo after those killer low-impact leg blasts. I LOVE IT!!!!!! }(

to me low max is a good work out because

#1. you dont have to lift your body weight up in the air
#2. music is great!
#3. It kicks my butt everytime and on down days for me i just take off one set of risers.
#4. two risers or four my heart rate is up!!!
#5. Buy it you will be happy you did!

Oh yeah, this one will kick your butt if you do it properly. Also if you're an advanced exerciser you can modify & add some power--I do this often during the step routine, & then do the blasts the way she does them.
 
I just finished it after not having done it for a while, and I did it on an eight inch step. I burned tons of calories, and my heart rate was up throughout the whole thing. I love the music, and it is a blast of a workout.
 
I love it! It's an ass kicker!! Make sure you're doing it at 8 or 10 inches. The cardio is fun!

YEP! It'll set your thighs on fire and you'll definitely feel it the next day.}(

I don't sub in lunges in the workout, I just do it "as is" but I suppose it might work.
 
Its a GREAT workout. Definetly one of my favorites. Let us know what you think after you do it. If you do it right you will absolutely get a good workout!
 
Lowmax is one of my favorites, as well. I do the all-step premix and just love it. My favorite cardio is the last one with all the side-kicks. Really gets the hard rate up to end on a high note.
 
I just got Low Max and did it for the first time today. I got my 8 inch step out, took a deep breath and was only able to get through the interval 1-4. I think my mind took over becasue I knew there was a premix 1-4 and 4-7, although I set it up to do the entire workout. It was busting my a$$. I wimped out after 1-4 and will do 4-7 next time. But yeah, it's an a$$ kicker. Or maybe I'm just a baby, or both.
